Partnerschool St. Famille Kigali
Since January 2023, we have been cooperating with Groupe Scolaire St. Famille School in Kigali and planning our two projects Enableschool and Inspirekids together.
What we do specifically
Our Projects
Rwanda
Project 1 Enableschool
Financial support to attend school
We enable 10 children of our sponsor school St. Famille School in the capital Kigali in Rwanda to attend school. By paying the school fees, the children are able to continue attending school.
Project 2 Inspirekids
Ideal support through mentorships
We foster mentorships between the 10 children and students from local universities. The mentors inspire the children across school, and family backgrounds to identify and pursue their life goals.
2023
Project Enableschool
Principal Micheline Thabo identified ten secondary school children who would soon have to drop out of school because their parents cannot afford the school fees. We support the families by paying the school fees.
Project Inspirekids
From April 2023, we will also provide non-material support for the ten children by promoting mentorships with students. The mentors will receive an expense allowance and the opportunity to gain professional experience.
Partner company Munyax Eco
MUNYAX ECO works in Kigali in the areas of solar energy and energy efficiency through the sale and installation of environmentally friendly and renewable energy. Through practical days, the students gain insights into the professional world and the students gain concrete career perspectives.
What the initial situation is like
Project background in Rwanda
In Rwanda, almost all children attend compulsory elementary school, but many children drop out and only 71% continue to secondary school. The reason for this is that many children start working in elementary school to help finance their families. Parents often cannot afford the higher school fees of secondary school.
Project Enableschool
The school fees at our sponsor school amount to about 27 Euros per term (3 months), i.e. 9 Euros per month per child. The school fees are paid at the beginning of the term and transferred directly to the school. The school fees are used to pay for daily meals for the children as well as for the lessons.
Project Inspirekids
Our 5 mentors each look after two children per week through 1-2 hours of tutoring and vocational training. The mentors receive an allowance of 20 euros per month for mentoring 2 children. Once a month there will be an event for mentors and mentees. If materials are needed, we are happy to sponsor them as well.
All parties benefit
Win-Win-Win Situation
Partnerschool
The partner school is supported in its motivation to be able to teach as many children as possible. They gain financial security and stability to successfully continue the school’s operations.
Company
The companies promote the interest and practical training of the next generation in their industry. In addition, the companies benefit from our students and mentors network.
Students and Pupils
Pupils in schools have the opportunity to be supported in identifying and pursuing their goals through the mentoring programs. Students gain work experience and are able to network with our partner companies.
